The hardware and software itself are extremely hackable. The kit was designed to encourage you to make new content and extensions for it. Building the MAKERbuino kit is only the beginning. Program a cool retro game, add an extra analog stick, connect a GSM module, use your MAKERbuino to control a quadcopter or even add a Wi-Fi module and connect it to the internet. Not just for beginners MAKERbuino's capabilities will keep more advanced users busy as well. Develop your creation even further by designing a custom 3D printed or CNC cut casing, change the button caps or even turn your MAKERbuino in a cellphone. Throughout the process of hacking and customization, you'll enter the world of electronics, CAD designing, 3D printing, programming, all in a fun and challenging way.
